Aperture 3.1 color label problem

After the recent 3.1 "upgrade" I notice the following: 1. Keyboard shortcuts for color labels no longer work. 2. Filtering images by color label no longer works.

They still work for me.
I had some trouble understanding the filter choices in the Color Label Rule. Fwiw, it is hard to tell which colors are selected (often more than it seems), and it isn't immediately clear that this rule has multiple selections with a fixed "or" operator.
Regarding the keyboard shortcuts -- have you altered your command set in any way? When happens when you press "{command}+1" (do any of the menu items in the menu bar show in reverse-video)?

  • Color labels problem, in french version

    In english :
    Hello
    I was testing with the beta and lightroom beta 2 version 3. Satisfied, I bought french version 3 today. Unfortunately I have a small problem:
    color labels have not been recognized during the transition to the french commercial version 3. The reason seems to be related to a translation problem. Example: color purple ("pourpre" in french) appears not with the same color, but with the text, instead of the icon, "purpule". Same for the other colors.
    How to get my color labels?
    Thank you.
    In french :
    Bonjour,
    je testais lightroom avec la beta et beta 2 de la version 3. Satisfait, j'ai acheté la version 3 française ce jour. Malheureusement j'ai un petit problème :
    les libellés de couleurs n'ont pas été reconnus lors du passage à la version 3 commerciale française. La raison semble être liée à un problème de traduction. Exemple : la couleur pourpre apparait non pas avec la couleur correspondante, mais avec le texte, en lieu et place de l'icône, "purpule". Même chose pour les autres couleurs.
    Comment récupérer mes libellés de couleurs ?
    Merci.

    Snoopy,
    I think your assumption is correct, your problem is due to the different wordings in the labels (I presume you were running LR3 Beta2 in English).
    LR did wirte the word "Purple" into the label column of your catalog, when you marked an image as purple. Now, with the french wording, LR interprets the word "Pourpre" in the label column as purple, and nothing else. You can see these associations in the Library Module, Metadata menu / Color label set / Edit.
    To solve your problem, I would do the following for each of the color labels:
    Activate the Metadata Filter, with the column "label" showing
    filter on a specific label term (e.g. "Purple")
    Select all filtered photos
    Mark them as "Pourpre"
    This will reassign the current (French) terms to your photos.

  • Aperture Dual Monitor Color Profile Problem

    I have 'discovered' an interesting problem when using my MBP with a Cintq tablet as a secondary monitor. The displayed colors agree very well in Aperture until I go to full screen and then the laptop monitor develops a greenish tint. I have tried all the different secondary display options, and in all cases where an image is displayed on both monitors the tint develops. It goes away as soon as full screen is exited. The Thunderbolt port is being used to feed the display to the Cintq (with a thunderbolt to DVI (?) adapter. I would guess that the laptop must grap the cintiq profile as soon as it goes to full screen.
    In perusing the discussion group I see similar problems were reported in the past. It persists with the latewt MBP and thunderbolt, and latest build of Aperture.

    I have no real answer except to say that on an older setup pre-Aperture I never did get the Cintiq 15 color well managed. I used the Cintiq mostly for palettes in Photoshop.

  • Bug in Aperture's Color labels?

    When I select an image and use the main menu to change the color label to nothing, viewing in the list view shows the label as "--" (without the quotes). When I use the sidebar to perform the same operation, the list view shows the label to be "No Label" (with the quotes). This seems inconsistent. Is this a bug?

    Yes, its been around since at least version 3.  While it doesn't cause a lot of problems in Aperture itself if you try to use Applescript to script the labels it causes all sorts of problems.
    I reported it numerous times, keep hoping that one day it will be fixed. You can send feedback to Apple reporting this, see Aperture->Provide Aperture Feedback

  • Problems importing photos with a color label.

    Hello:
    I'm trying to import photos and assign a color label at the same time. My idea is to know what pics are just imported and put they into "status 0" of my workflow, that is, the pic is just imported and need to be accepted/rejected, then be classified, then made basic corrections, etc, etc. I'm going to change color labels to go from red to green status... a tipical workflow.
    OK, this is what I did:
    Import pics:
    * I select the directory and create/assign a new metadata preset.
    * In this metadata preset I set author/creator and some other IPTC fields.
    * Also I put the word "red" in Label field.
    * Do the import...
    What I can see then:
    The photos are imported and the red label is visible. You can see the red label in the grid view (at every photo's bottom) and also, at the bottom toolbar, you can see that the red label is checked. If you click at the small label at the photo's bottom you can see the small menu with the red label checked.
    OK, it seems that the color label is imported but...
    In the filmstring, if you filter to see only the red labeled pics... nothing is selected !! You have to unassign and assign again the red label and this time you can filter by color label.
    What is happening ? Does Lightroom read the color label from two different fields from the metadata ? Is something not synched during the import process ?
    Regards,
    Javier.

    Sorry if I couldn't explain correctly. English is not my main language...
    I know you can assign names to the existing colors label and create different sets. I just create my own set.
    What I'm refering to is to the Label field that is part of the basic IPTC data into a metadata preset. I'm not sure if it's the same field that is used to assign color labels.
    What I did was to create a metadata preset, assign the word "red" as the value of the IPTC Label field and then apply this preset into an import. All the pics were imported with the red label set, so yes, it is possible to do the import and set the color label. The problem is that you can't use the filters that are into the filmstring view. So there is some mismatch here: the red color is shown at the bottom of the pics imported, but the filmstring filters can't "see" that the pics have this color label assigned.

  • Color label setting problems in Develop module

    Today is the first day with Lightroom 3, where I have over 200 photos from an event, that I am walking through each photo.  I am in the develop module and I am setting the color label to red or blue.  What seems to be constantly (not every time) happening is when I click the color for the label, LR will move to the next photo, but not apply the color label.
    As I write this I'm trying it out to notice a pattern.  What I see is photo 1, I click on the red label and the photo is labeled red and LR moves to photo 2.  I click on the red label and LR does not set any color label and moves to photo 3.
    Another thing that happened is I was then at photo 3 and clicked on the blue label.  LR did not set the blue label but jumped to photo 4 and put the blue label on that photo.
    This is very annoying.
    Where might I report this bug to Adobe?

    Same bug as with ratings. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/679696?tstart=0
    Flagging via the toolbar, also shows this problem.
    As noted above, use keyboard shortcuts.

  • Assigning multiple color labels to one image in Aperture?

    Is there a way to assign more than one color label to an image? I suppose I could use a third color to signify what "color 1" and "color 2" together mean, but that's a bit confusing...
    Thank you,
    David

    Yeah, I use keywords extensively, and absolutely understand their value, as you highlight, but find that colored labels are more convenient for certain things. For example, I can very quickly mark (with the labels keyboard shortcuts) images without opening the Inspector and typing in keywords, and subsequently find images without creating a smart album, simply through their color "halos". (It's a "dumbed-down" process, to be sure, but it works when you're feeling lazy!)
    Thank you for the response, and for submitting the request for multiple color labels.
    Best,
    David

  • Close all folders in Mail?  Color Label folders?  Find folder?  And More!

    Hi all.
    I have a LOT of mail. They're all very organized, though. Heaps of Mailboxes (Folders) and Sub-folders.
    I also have heaps of rules dutifully sending incoming mail to their appropriate mailboxes.
    However...
    It has reached a point where one of of the major bottlenecks in my daily workflow is sorting through all these mailboxes.
    There are 5 primary mailboxes with perhaps 100-ish subfolders or sub-subfolders. Maybe more.
    When they are all open, or a lot of them are open, it is difficult to find the a specific folder when I need it. It would help if I could close all open folder with a shortcut.
    Is this possible?
    It would also help if I could visually distinguish each level. Can I color label the mailboxes(not the messages themselves)?
    Another help would be if I could run a search for a folder Mailbox name. Is this possible?
    Lastly when I create a rule I would love it if there was an option to 'Create new Mailbox' in the rule dialog box rather than having to create the mailbox first. Am I just missing this? See link for illustration:
    http://img.skitch.com/20080820-eaqmy89emw6xm5pcj86iuqu992.jpg

    I just had a look and you need to create the mailbox PRIOR to asking the rules to move it into that.
    Now, automator lets you create a new workflow, but not sure as to how to set that one up (might be possible; however, my mathematical brain tells what you want to achieve is flawed:
    1) IF new mail equals "tangerine", create new mailbox tangerine, then move message to mailbox "tangerine. (FINE so far!)
    2) the second "tangerine" message arrives, and the workflow should FAIL (because it cannot create a "new" mailbox "tangerine", as there is ALREADY a mailbox named "tangerine")
    3) if automator cannot execute "If" and "and" and the "sort by" all together, then distinguish (a "tangerine" message might actually need to go to "pear" but refers to "pears and tangerines", so it ends up in the wrong mailbox), you may have to start and restart mail, until all stages of the script have been executed.
    You see the problems?
    Anyhow, here is a link to some automator info:

  • Can not color label more than one file at a time

    Hi,
    I've had this problem since 10.6.6-ish, i can not color label more than one file at a time in the Finder.
    Wether i select two, twenty or twohundred only one file gets color labeled.
    It doesn't seem to matter if i assign a color label through the File menu or right click > label.
    Figured a re-install might fix this but it hasn't (even a clean install without restoring any kind of backup).
    Does anyone else have this issue and/or a fix for it?
    Thanks,
    Jay

  • Lightroom color labels lost on transition from one pc to another

    I started using a mac laptop in the field and always used windows pc at home. A portable hard drive holds the lightroom catalog. It's fat32 formatted so it can be used by both mac and windows.
    A catalog made by the mac lightroom opens fine in windows. However, all the color labels are lost. The flags and stars are retained.
    If a color label is changed on a photo by the windows version of lightroom, then when that catalog is opened on the mac, that photo has no color label. (even though the mac originally gave it a color label)
    And all the original color labels that were made by the mac magically return as they were assigned.
    To trouble shoot this, I installed the Lightroom 3.6 trial on 2 other pcs - one runs windows 7 32 bit and the other windows 7 64 bit. These installs see the mac created catalog properly.
    All the color labels are there and changing one on a windows box is properly reflected on the mac when that catalog is opened.
    This is so annoying.
    My main pc must have an allergy to my mac.
    I removed and reinstalled lightroom on my pc-same problem.
    Now i have to figure out what is interfering with my main pc lightroom install.
    It cant be lightroom cause i removed it and reinstalled it. but it might be one of the plug ins i use. these magically reappearred even after i reinstalled lightroom after removing it.
    Anyone have suggestions?

    The color labels are preserved between different programs (for instance between Bridge and Lightroom) and I imagine between different LRs on two different computers only when the texts entered as description for the color labels in >Metadata >Color Label Set >Edit is absolutely identical on both computers down to upper / lower case, spaces, numbers, hyphens, etc. If one dexcription for - lets say the red label - deviates from the other by only a semicolon the label will not display properly.

  • Finder does not show all colors from selected color Labels

    Since a view days finder does not show all Color Label colors. When I select either yellow or green it is selected, but it does not show in the file list with details, I can see it in icon and 3 pane view, but not in the detail list view.
    does anybody know why or how? Or what plist files I might need to delete to get this reset?

    Create a new account, name it "test" and see how your labels work in that User acct in list view? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.) This account is just for test, do nothing further with it.
    Open System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" make it an admin account.
    Let us know and we'll troubleshoot this further.

  • Color Labels not showing across Network

    I appreciate any help I can get with this...
    We have a 4 macs on this network right now in our Art Dept.
    2 are 1.6GHz PowerPC G5's 1GB RAM
    2 are 800 Mhz Power PC G4's w/ 1GB RAM
    All are running 10.4.5
    We have a Buffalo Terastation as our Unix Server with Gigabit Networking.
    It is very important for us to be able to see the folder/file color coding system. It is not working on one of our G4's. It will allow me to change the color, but will not be visible from other machines neither will it see the color if it is changed from another machine.
    Has anyone else ever had this problem?
    What can I do to fix this machine so it understands the color system?
    Is there an alternative to the coloring system?
    Is there a plugin or expansion for this to add even more colors?
    This machine is worthless to us if this does not work...this is a very fast paced environment where we need real-time color labels to constantly know the status of our ads!
    Thanks much!!!

    I have been having the same problem and I just discovered a solution. At least it worked for me. One of our computers was connected to the server using cifs instead of afp. Once I reconnected using afp the color labels worked fine.
    Select your server on the desktop of the computer you are having problems with and get info. Under General info, see if the Server address starts with afp or something else. Under the Go menu in the finder select Connect to Server... and make sure you put afp:// before the server address and connect.
    Hope this helps, if not Good Luck!

  • Print driver/color profile problems after 2.0 update

    Since I updated to the latest version of aperture 2 I have had problems with printing on my canon 5200R printer. The coloring is way off, as if aperture does not seem to recognize the canon print drivers or color profiles. I have read about printing from another program but was so happy with color quality using aperture 1.5, is there a fix for the current problem?

    Bump.

  • Color Scheme Problems in Ultiboard

    Hi,  I've been having trouble with the color scheme problems in Ultiboard ever since I upgraded form 10.0 to 10.1.  The color schemes will not save in Ultiboard 10.1, even with the new patch 10.1.0.1, this problem is persistant.
    Here's the problem in detail: 
    In global Preferences, I click on "Colors", and then New Scheme, give it a name, and I define my colors.  However, when I open a new file, the colors are reverted to the default.  When I check the preferences again, the name that I have given to my color scheme is labeled as "User settings", and they are the same as the default colors.
    This is really annoying as every time I open a file, I have to change the color schemes.  It seems like these settings are not being saved in the user-configuration file for some reason or another.
    I have tried deleting my user-config file in the user directories, and started new user-config files, but to no avail, the problem is persistent.  The color just will not stay.
    How do I get around this problem?

  • Apparent bug in 3.1's handling of color labels

    This ties is with [Applescipt manipulating color label|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2645193&tstart=15] posted earlier today.
    If you set the color label of an image to have no color label via the pulldown in the metadata tab of the inspector (select the first circle which will display the text *No Label* when selected) the images color label is set to the string "No Label". Confirm this by looking at the browser in column view, the third column in the default view is Label. You'll see that for colors you'll get a circle of the color and the string name of the color. You'll also notice that other images that do not have a color label simply have --
    The problem arises if you select *No Label* in the search field or Filter HUD. The images labeled as *No Label* rather then the empty string will not show up in the search.
    The *No Label* string can be cleared out by setting the images label to No Label via the +Command 0+ keystroke.
    The Applescript command to set color labels also exhibits this behavior.

    Working with events can sometimes be interesting.  I concentrated my efforts more on fixing the issue than trying to determine if this is a bug or not.  I modified your code slightly to filter events based on click type and I think it is working the way you intended.  Let me know it is not quite right.
